HC Deb 09 January 1985 vol 70 cc508-9W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what guidelines he intends to issue to doctors and nurses sharing education centres in tightly planned hospitals about timetabling arrangements.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

A health building note is in course of preparation which will give guidance to health authorities on accommodation for education. We intend to include some guidance on timetabling to ensure that adequate but not extravagant resources are allocated to the education of Health Service staff. The draft document will, however, be the subject of consultation with NHS interests and with medical, nursing and other interested professional and staff bodies.
